Testing a new non-invasive ventilation mask
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a new mask for non-invasive ventilation (a breathing machine that helps you breathe without a tube in your throat). It is designed to see if the mask is comfortable and works well for people who already use this type of breathing support at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 21 years old.
- You need to already be using a non-invasive breathing machine (NIV) regularly at home.
- You must be able to use a mask that goes under your nose (a sub-nasal mask).
- You cannot be pregnant (pregnancy test may be required).
- You need to be able to understand the study and give your permission (consent).
- Your breathing machine settings must be less than 30 cmH2O pressure.

This study compares two types of breathing support—a high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive ventilation—to see which one better prevents the need for re-inserting a breathing tube in people with systolic heart failure who are at high risk for breathing problems after the tube is removed.
This trial tests whether starting non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) early in ALS helps people breathe easier and live better. If you've been diagnosed with ALS in the last 6 months and haven't used a breathing machine before, you may qualify.
This trial compares different ways to help you breathe without a breathing tube: helmet NIV, CPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen. It aims to see which support works best for people who have sudden (acute) low oxygen levels.
This study tests a new type of mask and breathing machine for patients in the ICU who need non-invasive breathing support (NIV). It looks at whether this method helps you breathe better. You may be eligible if you are stable, 18 or older, and can use a mask that fits under your nose.
This study tests how different mask designs used at home or in the hospital affect breathing in healthy volunteers. It may help improve mask comfort and fit for people needing breathing support.
This trial tests a new type of face mask designed to help remove carbon dioxide from your blood when you have a severe COPD flare-up and need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if the mask works better than standard masks for people like you.
